Of course, being an Aston Martin, the roof is fully powered, and without having to wait for the hard cover, it opens and closes in 6.8 seconds, which is the fastest roof on any convertible sold at the time of the press release.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-357752 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/vantage-roadster-7-jpg..jpg\" alt=\"2020 Aston Martin Vantage Roadster\" width=\"6000\" height=\"4000\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The other major comparison point is the more traditional flat horizontal slats in the front grille, against the Coupe&#8217;s protruding lip grille with mesh finish.
